RED DWARF VIII (DVD Review) - 29/3/06
Lister: "What in the 7 hells of Hades is that?" KRYTEN: "It's a Lesbion, Mr. Lister, Sir" Lister: "You mean Lesbian, gimboid" KRYTEN: "No, that's the male android version, Sir" 
This is the final season of Red Dwarf to be released on Region 2 DVD and like Season 7 before it; come's as a 3-Disc Set with the Episode's: Back In The Red 1-3, Cassandra, Krytie TV, Pete 1-2 & Only The Good... lucky for us both Back In The Red 1-3 and Pete 1-2 come in feature-length editions (as well as their individual episodes) as they were meant to be shown as envisaged by writer Doug Naylor. Back In The Red 1-3 also feature's additional scenes in it's feature-length version. Now a lot of Red Dwarf fan's were not happy with the loss of Rob Grant at the end of Season 6 and thought the last two Series awful. I'm sorry - But I can't agree with that. If your a fan of a show you either like it in all it's forms or not. This Season 8 has a lot going for it with some Classic Red Dwarf moment's and some excellent comedy set-pieces that are very worthwhile. The introduction of several new character's like Kill-Crazy and Ackerman also add to the fun; as well as bringing back several old cast members. With a totally new setting and style this is a great DVD Set round-off before (hopefully?) we get to see further Red Dwarf on the big screen for it's feature-film debut. More Red Dwarf please!
